Swim about 400 meters with drill set and some pick ups. Bike about 3 miles with some pick ups. Run about 3/10 mile with some pick ups.

Pretty Good swim. My OGTD Tri Top seemed to feel like a sail behind me. Perhaps I should have practiced with that.
What would you do differently?:

Probably wear my Orca race suit over my other gear for the swim portion of the race.

What would you do differently?:

Need to figure out how to get onto the pedals more smoothly, perhaps with a new T1 platform I saw in Triathlete Mag

Comments:

Very hot and did not run well at all, never had any legs. Probably a result of the focus on Ironman Florida in November. I've only been putting in slow milea at about 12 miles per week.
What would you do differently?:

Train with a different focus for this race next year.
